- let's just go with "shit meets shit" -- nm - moles Mar 25, 09:59 2
  - "Watchmen" was unbearable to me, and "Sucker Punch's" trailers haven't done anything for me. It looks like nerd pron in a movie. -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 10:01

- #10: *wow*. - Dr.Vermin Mar 25, 09:49 12
  - the "no rioting or looting" thing is a bit oversold. For one thing, what would they loot? Muddy rubble? -- nm - Reagen Mar 25, 10:24 2
    - If there was nothing but muddy rubble, wouldn't everyone be dead by now? - Dr.Vermin Mar 25, 10:44
    - I'm sure there were towns abandoned during the rush that sustained only minor damage. That would have been prime targets. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 25, 10:29

    - have you looked at the hedgerow? -- nm - loosilu Mar 25, 10:15
    - *laughing* I think the problem may be (at least it was with me) that the first "after" picture we saw looked quite different. -- nm - mara Mar 25, 10:12
    - *head explodes* -- nm - Reagen si Mar 25, 10:09
    - same location, but with a less conclusive "after" shot, for a substantively different angle... -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 10:08
